DESCRIPTION:
Not a kit, but a collection of all the hard-to-find parts and accessories in one package. Perfect for those who cannot use a kit and/or for those who want to design and build their own mousetrap powered racer from scratch. You can build it for speed, you can build it for distance, you can build it for any contest you can dream up. Includes a top secret builder's guide filled with design ideas and performance tips and tricks. The Build Your Own Kit is a complete do-it-yourself mousetrap racer kit that includes all the hard-to-find parts for building your very own mousetrap powered racer. You could spend all day trying to find all the parts that are in this kit and still probably never locate everything. The Build Your Own Kit comes with all the top secret components that are used on many of Doc Fizzix's own record setting mousetrap vehicles. The wood is not pre-drilled so builders can design their own cars from scratch.
The Build Your Own Kit comes with ultra-thin, low inertia, DVD layer wheels that are the same diameter as a normal CD/DVD but only half the thickness. Because these wheels are only half the thickness compared to a normal CD/DVD they have only half the rotational inertia and your vehicle will have a greater acceleration and a greater travel distance compared to a similar vehicle using normal CDs/DVDs. The travel distance will increase from 5-15 meters further compared to a similar vehicle using normal thickness CD/DVD wheels.
includes our "easy-to-wind" and "snag-free " string release system that will not tangle and/or snag, a technique that was designed exclusively by Doc Fizzix to increase the performance of your vehicle.
